Ok so this is a short one, but it's 4.15 in the morning here and I wanted to finish it before I posted the next one (which I wrote before this one...)

After suffering another horrific helicopter flight, Blair Waldorf was only too happy to land in Rhode Island. It was such a shame that she now had to go sit in a dorm room for an undetermined length of time and watch whatever movie Chuck Bass had chosen for their viewing pleasure.

The transfer to the limo had been quick and painless and now, stood in the doorway to Serena's room, Blair began to plot how it was she would get Serena and Nate together.

Since they had left them together at tea both parties had been vague about how they spent the rest of their evening. Gossip Girl had of course informed everyone of Nate and Serena's drunken fun at the bar. Fun, it seemed, that didn't extend further than darts and dancing on the tables as the evening wore on.

But as always Blair was ready to get on with the task at hand.

"So Chuck, tell us, what porno have you selected today?"

"Why do you doubt me my love?" He placed the blank DVD case next to Serena's television. "As it stands I have impeccable taste in films, as this one should prove tonight. Now if you would all please be seated I will tell you the reasons behind my choice tonight. It is also worth mentioning that perhaps we should allow up to three intermissions tonight. I'm not sure Archibald's bladder can withstand the length of this movie."

He turned his back to his audience and slipped the DVD into the player. He muted the sound and turned back, blocking the screen from view.

"My choice tonight comes from a love of wealth, power and of course ruthlessness. As an added bonus tonight's story comes with the added benefit of a love story for those of us who still believe in true love." Here he paused and looked at Blair. "Without further ado I present to you our film for the evening, Gone with the Wind."

"Really?"

"Of all the films, you chose an epic?"

"I suppose you see yourself as Rhett do you darling?"

Chuck waved his hand at his friend's complaints and questions. He took a seat next to Blair and pressed play.

"Just so you know, I'm very impressed you even know this movie exists." Blair whispered to her boyfriend. "I always thought you were more of an action flick kind of guy."

"Well that just shows how much you know about me." he pulled Blair closer towards him, resting his chin on the top of her head.

Serena watched her step brother cuddle up to his girlfriend with a smile on her face. She leant towards Nate. "I never thought I'd admit it, but Chuck Bass suits being monogamous."

"It is terribly shocking, I find myself having to blink several times when I see them together."

"Here's hoping they don't break up any time soon. I remember the last time."

"We all remember the last time. But I don't think there's any risk of that just yet." Nate gestured towards the television. "I do understand his choice of movie though, when you think about his relationship with Blair."

Serena nodded as she chewed on a gummy bear she'd located in a packet of haribo mix. "One of the greatest love stories of our time." She smiled, watching the screen. It didn't need to be said though; Nate knew that she didn't mean Scarlett and Rhett.

"It must be nice, knowing that the one you love feels the same way."

"Yeah I guess it is." Serena was glad that the room was dark; there was no chance anyone could see her flushed cheeks. She leant her head onto Nate's shoulder, wondering if Blair had actually managed to convince her that she likes him or that she did actually have feelings for her best friend. Okay yes they'd had sex. But that was back when Serena was a wild child and Nate was just desperate to lose his virginity. But here she was, three years later wondering if there was something there.

It was silly thinking things like that. She turned her attention back to the screen. Serena barely took in the events folding out in the story; she managed to zone out like she always did during long movies. She had seen this film about a million times anyway. Trust the million and one time to be the one when she found herself wondering if she had feelings for Nate.

About a quarter of the way into it Chuck pressed paused and suggested a toilet break for those who were getting desperate. Nate took the opportunity to rush out of the room in order to relieve his bladder. Chuck followed him at a slower pace, leaving the two girls in the room alone.

"So you and Nate looked pretty cosy, anything we should know?"

"Other than the fact that you're finally in my head?" Serena shook her perfect blonde hair. "I'm so confused B, I can't work out if I like him or not."

"Well experience has taught me when it comes to feelings for Nate it tends to be real." She smiled at her best friend. "Plus when it comes to your feelings there's no way that you could be confused."

She reached over and patted Serena on the arm. "Don't worry S, everything will become clear soon."

They were interrupted from their conversation as the two guys returned. Chuck pressed play and switched the lights back off. Nate climbed back on the bed, lying down next to Serena and opening a packet of chips. He offered them to her, a gesture that was welcomed by the confused blonde. She took the opportunity to take in Nate's face. It was one of the most familiar faces in the world, second most to Blair of course. Serena had watched that face mature from a little boy to the man sat next to her now.

She munched on her chips as she turned back to the movie.

Soon, she decided, soon she would work out her feelings.
